Abstract

Workflows offer a great potential for enacting corelated jobs in an automated manner. This is especially desirable when workflows are large or there is a desire to run a workflow multiple times. Much research has been conducted in reducing the makespan of running workflows and maximising the utilisation of the resources they run on, with some existing research investigates how to reduce the energy consumption of workflows on dedicated resources. We extend the HTC-Sim simulation framework to support workflows allowing us to evaluate different scheduling strategies on the overheads and energy consumption of workflows run on non-dedicated systems. We evaluate a number of scheduling strategies from the literature in an environment where (workflow) jobs can be evicted by higher priority users.
